I'm surprised, my wife likes the box much more than my m3s.

Wife's opinion of my Boxster

Basically, she hates it, an has only driven it once, and never on her own, and doesn't want to drive it. She also pretty much refuses to ride in it.

To sum up, she

1. Hates a convertible - doesn't like wind on her face or in her hair.
2. Hates a stick shift. She can drive a stick, but really dislikes them.
3. Hates the lack of visibility with the convertible top up.

Like a few other say, great for me, too bad for her....

Pat

Garage
My wife likes the car. She has been a real good sport driving with the top down with her hair blowing all over. She has since got a proper riding bonet, like the one Mia Farrow wears in the original Great Gatsby. We have met some great people at C&C in Taunton, Ma. Its great to take a sunday drive through the back roads going to wine tastings at local vinyards and antiquing. So I drive she shops, life is good. The problem now is at the C&C in Taunton my wife fell in love with the 911's Arena Red. Need more $$ and a bigger garage. I always wanted a Porsche but never thought I would own one. We saw this car and both agreed we had to have it. Been fixing it ever since but when its running its a blast!
